What to Look for When Buying a Mattress

Most mattresses feel good for 7 minutes in a showroom. The problems show up around week three — lower back stiffness, trapped heat, shoulder pressure, the strange dip forming near the middle. Buying the right mattress means matching your sleep position, body weight, temperature habits, and budget with materials that actually hold up over time. Foam, latex, hybrid, coil count, trial periods, fiberglass concerns, return policies... the details matter more now because mattresses cost more than ever.
